We chose this cruise for the ports it was visiting, the inclusions along with the freestyle option. For our honeymoon we wanted to be able to do what we wanted, when we wanted and how we wanted. The freestyle cruising option was great for this. We could go to dinner in our flip flops and casual wear or we could get dressed up if we wanted to. That flexibility was great.

The overall appearance of the ship was outstanding. It was very clean, updated and the attention to every detail was fantastic. We had a balcony room and for a cruise ship it was very spacious. The upgrade to this style of room was well worth it and I would never cruise in a non-balcony room again. The staff was always there to tidy up the room and provide anything we needed. The temperature was always perfect, water was hot and plenty of storage space (and the bed was very comfy!).

We had the unlimited beverage package included which is great when you want to consume alcoholic beverages (pretty much anything you want is included). Be cautious of the mixed drinks as they are VERY watered down. The safest bet for a good drink is a martini, wine or beer. The one disappointment (which I know is fairly standard when cruising) is the non-alcoholic beverages were not included. They were able to give us all of the alcohol in the world, but if we wanted a plain coffee we would have to go to the dining room and have breakfast to get it or pay for it at the bar (just add booze and it's included).
